Experience some moments of calm and rest whilst learning modern brush pen calligraphy, and adding some gorgeous shimmer and sparkle to your Christmas gifting.

 

This Christmas calligraphy workshop is for beginners, for anyone who would like to revisit calligraphy after a break, or if you are self taught and in need of some direction. Learning modern calligraphy with a brush pen is a brilliant place to start your calligraphy adventure. We explore basic brush pen strokes, build these into letter shapes and then create Christmas words and phrases. There are plenty of Christmas templates for you to trace over as well as experimenting with regular and Christmas metallic brush pens, and adding sparkly details to calligraphy.

 

As this workshop is template/tracing based (although you can freestyle it!) you do not need to have any previous art experience. Brush Pen Calligraphy is made up of shapes, it is not handwriting, so you don't need to be good at handwriting to enjoy this workshop!

 

There are many templates for you to choose from to create your own Christmas cards and Christmas gift tags in the session using a light pad, so you have something beautiful to take away at the end of the session. In the workshop you can experiment with all of my brush pens from different manufacturers (including metallic, Christmas colours) - great for deciding which pens you prefer without having to pay for something you end up not liking! You take away your Christmas work pack and all the cards and gift tags that you have created.

 

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ATTENDED A BRUSH PEN CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP:

Apart from the alphabet and basic strokes I have completely rewritten the brush pen workshop for Christmas. So, if you have already attended a brush pen calligraphy workshop there will be heaps of new templates to add to your calligraphy template collection, with plenty of Christmas words & phrases and gift tag & Christmas card ideas for you.

 

A hot drink and something yummy are included in the ticket price.

 

I have been practising calligraphy for many years, starting with learning the traditional scripts (copperplate, italic and foundational hand) at night school and learning from some of the UK's leading traditional calligraphers. After discovering modern calligraphy, I have enjoyed manipulating the traditional letter shapes into modern styles. This is what gives my modern calligraphy its beauty and elegance.
